Abstract:

The aim of this volume is to provide an overview of different theoretical
perspectives on Terminology, from Wüster to other initiatives that have
emerged since the beginning of the 1990s. The volume also covers important
topics which have significantly influenced Terminology and its evolution.
These include variation, multidimensionality, conceptual relations, and
equivalence, among others. The twenty-two chapters of the volume, all written
by acknowledged experts in the field, explore the questions that different
approaches seek to answer. They also describe the theoretical and
methodological principles that were devised over the years to characterize,
analyze, and represent terminological data. The semi-chronological,
semi-thematic organization of chapters not only provides readers with a clear
vision of the evolution of ideas in Terminology, but also gives them an
understanding as to why some of these ideas were initially challenged. In
addition to being accessible to readers unfamiliar with the basic theoretical
principles in the field, the chapters provide a showcase of current research
in the field, the challenges looming on the horizon, and finally future
directions in terminological research. By bringing together work that is often
disseminated in different forums and written in different languages, this
volume provides a unique opportunity to look at how different theoretical
approaches to Terminology offer complementary perspectives on terms, concepts
and specialized knowledge, and help to further a better understanding of the
complex phenomena that terminologists must successfully deal with in their
work.
